Mike Rowehl: This is Mobility

Hat tip to Enrique for pointing out Twitlet, a Java ME Twitter client. Was just trying it out on my E61, looks pretty cool. I’m actually more in the Twitter by IM crowd normally than the Twitter by SMS crowd (just my programmer lifestyle, if I’m not in front of a large screen for more than a few minutes at a time recently I start to panic). But being able to switch around between the different modes is great. Like for example keeping track of what people are up to while at CTIA. Usually I use Agile Messenger and get the IM stream that way, plus I have access to my own bot then. But Twitlet provides a nice, and free, alternative. I’m assuming they’ve built most of the app based on top of plain old RSS and just integrated it well. Would be fantastic to try to abstract some common interfaces out of this and be able to use it as a generic client. Say getting both Twitter and Jaiku together in the same client would be pretty cool.
